PD AWS MariaDB lets you offer Amazon RDS for MariaDB instances through WHMCS, using AWS. It suits applications that need managed MariaDB, with the resource linked to the customer’s service.

Before you start

Install PD Modules for WHMCS first, connect the account that holds your licence, then install PD AWS MariaDB from its Store. Allow the administrator role that needs to use it.

You also need an AWS account with the permissions required for the chosen database service. Check the provider account’s permissions, available locations and capacity before enabling automatic provisioning.

Connect the account

Add the provider connection under System Settings → Servers, selecting this module for the server record. Assign the appropriate server group to the product. Keep provider credentials on the connection, separate from the product’s resource defaults.

Define what the customer receives

Create a product using PD AWS MariaDB and review its Module Settings and configurable options. Start with Region, Plan, Backing service, MariaDB version and Storage. Together these describe the resource requested when a service is provisioned; they are not just labels on the order form.

MariaDB uses the RDS backing service for this module.

Choose which client controls the product exposes. If you offer configurable options, check that their values match the module’s supported choices and that the defaults describe the service you intend to sell.

Put the service into use

Set the product’s automatic-setup behaviour deliberately. If you want provisioning after payment, select that option rather than leaving setup manual. Keep the normal cron running for subsequent status and usage updates.

Check the first service

Review the instance or cluster state, the connection details and the access controls. A pending resource is not ready for application connections.

Creating a real service creates provider resources and can incur provider charges. Review the configuration first; use your normal controlled test process for the first provisioning rather than making an order solely to browse the settings.
